Getting fire door replacement right in Greenford
We provide fire door replacement in Greenford (UB6 and the surrounding postcodes), from the first survey through to a documented handover.
Buildings in and around Greenford range from mixed-use office buildings to converted flats and restaurants. Whatever the building, the standard is the same: certified products, correct gaps, seals and closers, and a frame sealed to the wall.
If your Greenford building has an inspection report or fire risk assessment, we quote against the same door references. If a door in your Greenford building can be repaired rather than replaced, we will tell you.
Repair or replace?
Plenty of fire door faults can be fixed: worn seals, loose hinges, failed closers, small gaps. Replacement is the right call when the leaf is split, delaminated or badly damaged, when gaps are too large to correct within the manufacturer's guidance, when the door was never a fire door, or when unapproved holes and alterations have been made. We explain the reason for every replacement we recommend. Our repairs page covers what can be fixed.
What you get:
- Frame repair or replacement where needed
- Removal and disposal of the old door
- Certified leaf or full doorset
- Seals, hinges, closer and latch to certification
Fire door law for Greenford properties
The rules that apply to fire doors in Greenford are England's. The responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire doors in non-domestic premises and the common parts of flats in working order; the Fire Safety Act 2021 confirmed that this includes flat entrance doors onto common parts. Enforcement of fire safety law in Greenford sits with the London Fire Brigade.
Where a Greenford block is above 11 metres, regulation 10 of the 2022 regulations means communal doors are checked every three months and flat entrance doors annually on a best-endeavours basis. Replacement doors must also satisfy the Building Regulations, with Approved Document B as the guidance most building control bodies work from.

Questions
Is Greenford within your coverage area?
It is. We cover Greenford in Greater London and neighbouring towns such as Northolt. There is no charge for the survey.
Can you work from an existing inspection report for my Greenford building?
Yes. Send it over and we can often price straight from it, then confirm on site. We report back against the same door references so you can close actions off.
Can you replace just the door and keep the frame?
Yes, if the frame is sound and compatible with the new leaf's certification. If not, we replace the whole doorset.
How do I know if a fire door needs replacing?
A competent inspection will tell you. Typical reasons are serious damage, gaps that cannot be corrected, no evidence the door is a fire door, or unapproved alterations such as new holes or glazing.
